    COMPARISON OF COMPOSITION ELEMENTS ON DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES OF OYSTER MUSHROOMS (PLEUROTUS SPP.) GROWING UNDER PLASTIC SHEET

    M. Güler1 and Y. S. AXaoXlu2

    The paper describes changes in the yield, dry matter percentage, crude protein percentage, pileus diameter, stipe diameter and stipe length of Pleurotus pulmonarius (PP), P.sajor-caju (PSC), P.sp.cfr.Florida (PF), P.columbinus (PC), P.ostretus (Origin of England-POE) and P.ostretus (Origin of Anatolia-POA) inoculated and grown in different substrates composed of mixtures of wheat straw (W), paddy straw (P), corn straw (C), wheat+paddy straw (WP), wheat+corn straw (WC) and wheat+paddy+corn straw (WPC). During the experiment it was also found that substrates of WPC (437.90 g), WP (377.90 g) and WC (375.90 g) have proven to be the best growing media, providing highest yields. Yield of the P (249.90 g) are lower than the others. According to the comparison of quality factors at different media, the levels of dry matter in C (8.32 %), crude protein in W (25.32 %), pileus diameter in P (70.77 mm) stipe diameter in WC (15.06 mm) and stipe length in WPC (30.96 mm) were found to be important.

    Keywords: Pleurotus, waste matters, plastic sheet, composition elements.
